:)OK lads, here I am! You'll never guess what I'm building! Thats right! A Spitfire! This is going to be signifacantly more enjoyable than that horrid ICM kit. Here's what I'm doing- 1/48 Tamiya Mk.Vb Trop. in the markings of "Screwball" Beurling. Markings from the Aeromaster sheet "Defenders of Malta Pt II" Here's what I got up to today:     See you later, Darren. |

G'day, For this GB I intended to do a Hurricane Mk IIb with AeroMaster decals, but the only Mk IIb on the sheet is an overall black Nightfighter. After going threw both parts I and II of the decal sheets I come up with a couple of Mk I's, so into the stash to find an apropriate Mk I kit the Mk IIb will go back and wait for another opertunity to be built.  My kit boxart, too which a lot of PE will be added.   The AM decal options for my GB subject. This was my first option for this GB  The boxart.  The AM decal option. |

Sean,
I have spoken to some contacts regarding self printing of decals we seem to think we can duplicate the Skull/Tophat without any problems, I'll keep you posted on the progress of this one.

Rob I don't do as much 72nd anymore. But this kit almost falls together. A little filler where the belly pan attaches thats it.

John,
I don't do 72 scale either, but I have built 3 of the 72 scale Beau's in 3 different Mk's, 2 x were for a Museum and the other was for a model club display. I do have 2x [1/72 kits] in the stash that I was given some time ago.
